Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to discuss the drama Wanda. Tragedia w pięciu aktach by Franciszek Wężyk and put it in a context of pre-romanticism. The author compares this tragedy with Adam Mickiewicz’s Romantyczność and Pamiątka po dobrej matce by Klementyna z Tańskich Hoffmanowa to create a network of intertextual references in which the discussed work can be analysed. The author also depicts the background, related to the changes in the approach to fairy-tale history at the time between Enlightenment and Romanticism, showing Wężyk as an author who combined the tendencies of both eras in his work.
